Synopsis: Moderate: openssl security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2015:2616-1
Issue Date: 2015-12-14
CVE Numbers: CVE-2015-3195
--

A memory leak vulnerability was found in the way OpenSSL parsed PKCS#7 and
CMS data. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application
that parses PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources to use an excessive
amount of memory and possibly crash. (CVE-2015-3195)

For the update to take effect, all services linked to the OpenSSL library
must be restarted, or the system rebooted.
